I would like to represent my new (CS2D) project: CounterStrike2D Live Mapper alias CounterStrike2D Live MapEditor.

About the application

It has ability to handle up to 255 players on a single server... Online! Yep, indeed, from now on it's possible to create & edit cs2d map online.
The system is relatively easy. Likewise in CS2D, firstly, you have to host a dedicaded server who clients (users) can join. The dedicated server can be hosted on a home computer (local) or on a V-/Root-Server (remote). The administrator is able to create new/delete/edit users accounts inclusive their permissions. So it's able to allow user "xyz" only (for example) to set tiles and entitys.

The user is able to download the map incl. all pictures and other files in a rar file (you need to open this file winrar. Google for it.).

You don't need winrar on a linux system. You can also install the zip package:

Code:

1

$sudo apt-get install zip

What's new?

The MapEditor is also made to work with maps easier. Also little extras like copy and paste a map area is now possible too.

You don't need to modify each single Tile on a map for Tileblending. With this tool you can fix the tileblending-values and applied them for each new tile.

You can also easy upload a part of your local tileset to the server tile. So you don't need to restart the server or cut the single tiles in paint. It's easy to use.

User accounts
At your first server start you have an user account with the name: admin and password: admin. With this account you are able to manage the whole CS2DLM-Server.IT'S RECOMMENDED to change the admin password! Take a look into the instructions.

Screenshots
Here are some older screenshots from the Editor:

Is it a free and how can I install the client?
The Editor is completly free and portable. Just Execute the CounterStrike2DLiveMapper.exe file and you can directly connect to your server. (No installation needed)

BEFORE DOWNLOAD OR USE:
This Editor is still in alpha phase. This version might be buggy and some features aren't done yet. It's recommend to save the map in 10 minutes interval! KlinSoft and Klin aren't liable for any damage or loss of the map.Please read the instructions before you post or ask anything.Use at own risk.

I found a bug/The client has been crashed!Please report all bugs/crashed via PM! If there are any "bug_report_xxx.txt" logs into the cs2d live mapper floder then please send the file via PM to me.
Please answer the following questions:

Which OS did you use for the server? (Windows or Linux - which version of Linux) Tell me, where the crash happened Status (Get mapdata..) precent What you did before the crash Three last output of console (server only) Crash while using Tell me what strange error you have previously discovered. Tell me how many people have used the server. Tell me if it was a local or a remote server. If possible make screenshots

To use this tool you have to have a server adress. Maybe someone else allready hosted a server or you have to host your own. Open the client and go to File/connect. A login windows should now appear, where you can enter your server adress and your login data. If you try to connect to your self hosted server, you should enter your admin account data or try the standard admin access:username: adminpassword : admin It's recommend to change the admin password or close this account. Now you're able to edit with other people your map, if you have the rights to do this.

Download the server-file under the download section. Extract all files/directorys with WinRar or some other package tools.

Open these default ports:
UDP: 2291
TCP: 2292 Put all your gfx/sfx/... files for the map into the db floder. Change the map which you want edit in the db/config.ini file.Windows: Execute the "Server.exe" file to run the server.Linux: Execute the "Server" file to run the server. Check for the permissions and missing packages! If you get a "segment fault" then you might have a 64 Bit AMD version. In this case you have to buy an another server or wait for the next version. Sorry for this. You perhabs need to install X11 libs.

Some use unrecognized aliases for libraries present in your system. For example, the build may require libX11.so.6, but there exists no such file or link in /usr/X11R6/lib/ (can be another directory though). Yet, there might be libX11.so.6.1, or any other version. The solution is to do this as root.

If you modify the db/config.ini file, you can change the ports and some other stuff. To enable the user download, you have to install under Windows winrar and under Linux zip-package. Just google for it.

There are the same rules as the CounterStrik2D dedicated for port-forwarding.PLEASE DON'T ASK HOW TO FORWARDING A PORT!
